Aberdeen University is “looking into” comments made by an employee who said she hoped former MP Ann Widdecombe suffered “an extremely painful death”. Scott Herbert who goes by the name Heather, a web developer at the university, faced backlash after making the comments on Friday, July 10 following news of Widdecombe’s death. Herbert responded to a news report of her passing on her Bluesky account, writing: “Some good news for once. I hope it was an extremely painful death.” He added: “I hope she was handcuffed to the bed as she screamed in agony.” 🤬 The Gaudie student newspaper contacted Herbert following the posts. He replied: “I don’t want to see anyone murdered, but I’m still glad she is dead.” “I’m not a hypocrite. I posted that before the murder investigation was launched,” he continued. A university spokesperson said: “We are aware of the comments being referred to online and are looking into the matter.” One user wrote to Herbert online: “I was never a fan of the woman and I certainly didn’t agree with her politics, but saying that about a fellow human is awful. There’s enough hatred in this world.” In response, Herbert wrote: “I’m done with being nice to pieces of human garbage like her.” 🤬
